Yahoo, a WAHOO!

Captain Mike and his wife Marianne spent a fun day fishing in beautiful blue waters.  Out near the gulfstream, in 550 feet of water, fish were busting bait on the ripp.  Using a circle hook and live pilchard, Marianne hooked up this 35 pound Wahoo just before sunset.

Captain Mike is back in town!

The fall 2010-2011 spring season has started off with a big BITE on the BIG DAWG.  Powered up with new twin 300 Yamaha’s and lots of new reels & equipment,  Captain Mike was anxious to wet his lines.  Not to be disappointed, on the first day on the water in a few months, Mike and his crew loaded the boat with mutton snapper, grouper and Flag Yellowtail.  No exaggerating, 7 pound, 28″ inch yellowtail were brought in!  Live bait, jigs and plugs were used to pull in these beauties.

After a few days on fishing patch reefs and doing some deep dropping, Mike took a trial run out to the Gulf.  After a full day, the boat came in with it’s limit of Cobia (they’re here!!).

Look’s like it’s going to be a great season!  Check your calendars, pack a bag and head on down.  The fish are waiting!

Unbelievable FLAG YELLOWTAIL

Flag yellowtail weighing in at 7 pounds and measuring 28 inches were the catch of the day.  Using plugs to catch them made it all the more fun!  Captain Joe Suroviec, his son Victor Douglass, and angler Kevin Cheetwood joined Captain Mike for this awesome trip.

Vic’s Black Gouper

Victor Douglass, visiting form Arizona, showed off his angling skills and landed this awesome Black Grouper.   He was pretty happy with the Mutton Snapper he caught the previous day.

More Yellowtail

Warm waters and lots of live bait were the perfect scenario for yellowtailing today.  After catching some on jigs, we threw out some plugs and the fun really started.  Marianne caught her first yellowtail on plug.   It was a blast!
